Today on ESPN Insider's "Ranking the top free agents of 2014":
15. Kyle Lowry | PG | UFA | 2013-14 Team: Toronto Raptors
2013-14 Salary: $6.2 million | Suggested AAV: $8.5 million/year, three years
Along with Stephenson, arguably no player has increased his market value this season as much as Lowry did, playing at should have been considered an All-Star level and being the main driving force behind Toronto's ascension into the playoff picture (although both of those facts should be tempered by the reality that he's done it in the Eastern Conference). His caustic personality hasn't gone away, and he is 27, so he doesn't get the full bump to an eight figure AAV.
I want the entire league to think this way because seriously wtf.

I've only ever seen him gotten a tech after a bad call in a key situation once, and that was the absolute crap call where he walked away so he didn't say anything to the refs and got T'd up anyway
What has impressed me most about Lowry is how insightful he is in post-game interviews. It's clear he understands the game at a very high level, which is what you want in a floor general. Let the rest of the league sleep on him, hopefully MU can bring him back for 27/3 or 32/4.Last edited by Jack_Bauer; Thu Feb 27, 2014, 07:44 PM.

He kept his emotions in check after the horrible call in Sacramento you referenced; he walked off the court without saying anything. This is simply lazy journalism from ESPN, "something that may have been true a few years ago is probably still true."
